Abstract This paper proposes an accurate valuable interpretation scheme to study the evolvement of the photoionization processes from the isolated to the condensed atoms by a unique ab initio method. The variations of the photoionization cross sections of the atomic sodium with the photoelectron energy and the boundary radius of the atomic configuration space are studied in this new scheme by the R-matrix method. The discrepancy in the photoionization spectra of the isolated and the condensed sodium has been explained quantitatively and understood successfully by this alternative view in detail for the first time.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
